Marlene, Do you mean by "the same place" the same region, county, town or property? Sounds like you have quite a heritage, whatever the specifics. Your conclusions about the meaning of "Lowlands and Penn. Dutch" are probably right. Don't we wish we could ask them now? I have heard my grandfather say that we are "Scotch-Irish" and am pretty sure that I have also heard him use the name "Dutch-Irish." Now, I believe that he may have been referring in the later case to the fact that my grandmother was of German origen, but am not certain. I was too young to know to ask questions at the time. My earliest ancestor James Beaty 1752/53 seems to identify pretty closely with the Irishmen who served with him in the RW campaigns, and I believe it was because he had a recent ancestor who was Irish. It is commonly accepted that many Scots-Irish settled in the Appalachian area, and there is a strong Scots-Irish influence here on the Cumberland Plateau of TN where I live.
